Surely you=E2=80=99d agree that it would suck though: depending on two Git implementations because one doesn=E2=80=99t have a proper API and the other= one lacks a bunch of features. It would also be pretty bad for closure size: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- $ guix size guile-git | tail -1 total: 106.6 MiB $ guix size guile-git git-minimal | tail -1 total: 169.8 MiB --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- It=E2=80=99s also not clear concretely how we=E2=80=99d add that dependency= . Try invoking =E2=80=98git=E2=80=99 from $PATH and print a warning if it doesn= =E2=80=99t work? But then, what about applications like Cuirass and hpcguix-web? Tricky, tricky. Ludo=E2=80=99.
